Goal is the point/place you wish to achieve...like the goal is to climb100 feet...then anything100 feet or over is your goal...you can surpass/exceed it. Target is the exact goal...100 feet is the target. Aim is the direction/action you take to get to the goal/target. Purpose is the reason you aim to achieve that target or goal.
